End Member for Frederikstedis Country
District (SUitSer) said he would of course
not like to say more than he wished in this
matter, and as the language used here in the
Council, English, is not his mother tongue, he
could not even express himself in it as he
would like he would therefore repeat his
request.

to say.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (SUltSer) resumed 800. When he
spoke IN this matter it is because he as q
Member of the Colonial Council considered it

that it agrees with the interest of the Colo

horses. His opinion is......
The Cb0irmGn.: Does the honorable
Member read his speech from a paper2
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (SUitSer) could not say he did not.
The Chairman ruled that it could not be
allowed.
End Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (SUttzer) said: He found it strange
that Mr.. Nelthropp's pony could be bought
by the Commission last Monday as being 6
years old, as the animal had been known in
the quarter a longer time than that it was
bought now for $3.50, but in reality it was
not worth more than $50; as far as. he knew
the animal had never cost more than $50;
but besides that, it is too small for military
use. He thought that the interests of the
Colonial Treasury ought to have been looked
after better anyhow, time will show whe.
ther he is right or wrong in this point. AS for
MI. Hagemann's horse, it is too nash for the
military purposes and it will not be able to
do the work required of it. On the whole
he thought that mules would be better and
most serviceable acknowledgements grass
Wagon and the char-a-banc he would there
fore recommend that mules be imported for
these purposes mules can serve much long.
or than horses and require less care than
horses. He would furthermore on tEis occa-
sion beg the honorable Council to join him
in trying to establish a Company Of Share
holders for the purpose of introducing a good
English hunting horse, and toask the Govern
ment to be at the head oft Some years ago
we had a very good horse, belonging to
Judge Forsberg, the offspring of which was
very good, in so much that people from
abroad came to purchase horses here and
these were paid for at very good prices we
had'a very promising breed and we had horses .
to export since then, we have had other
horses imported here. but none of
them will the offspring be as1 good. as for
merly anyhow, now the prices of horses
here nave gone down. He therefore thought
it would be a good thing to have another
horse here, and a good English hunting horse
would be the best , he for his part would sub
scribe 800 for, shares the animal might
be kept at the military stable, the stable
money could go to the Military and the rest
% the Shareholders. He would be very glad
I the Government would take the matter in
